“Although we see increased understanding of the potential benefits Big
Data projects can have on the bottom line, many enterprises struggle to
take Big Data projects into production due to a variety of factors
including time, complexity and cost,” said Matt Aslett, Research
Director Data Platforms & Analytics, 451 Research. “DataTorrent’s recent
customer successes illustrate its ability to help customers build and
deploy production applications to take advantage of both batch and
real-time stream processing.”

Growth of Apex Community

Apex became a top level Apache project in 2016 and in a such a short
period of time has become a global phenomenon with over 50,000 members
spread across 17 countries—all pushing the boundaries to revolutionize
data analytics with Apex. And with a quarterly growth of 70%, the Apex
community continues to thrive.

“As more and more connected devices come to market, data volume is
growing exponentially, making ingesting and analyzing this data in
real-time very complex, let alone garnering insight and taking real-time
actions,” said Guy Churchward, CEO & President, DataTorrent. “I believe
we are uniquely poised to help customers derive immediate value. Add the
explosive growth of the Apache Apex community and the addition of key
talent and we really help time to value and total cost of ownership in
delivering real-time data insight and actions for our customers.”
